You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The x-intercept is 2. So one point is (2, 0)


The y-intercept is 2/5, so another point is (0, 2/5)


So you need to find the equation of the line that goes through (2, 0) and (0, 2/5).


This equation is in the form y = mx+b where b is the y-intercept.


So you need the to find the slope m


Hope this helps. Let me know if it doesn't. Thanks.
